Q:Why do you only compare this 4 ah battery to the 1.5 ah battery. Why not compare it to your other 4 ah battery? Compare apples to apples and organes to oranges instead of apples to oranges.

A: There are a lot of Ridgid battery and tool/battery bundles that "don't make sense," so it behooves you to search thoroughly before making a purchase decision.

Most useless warranty in the industry.
I purchased several Rigid cordless tools and batteries. Registered all according to instructions within a week of purchase. Less than a year later one battery failed. Goid luck if this happens to you. The warranty claims process is so convoluted and involved it is nearly impossible to navigate. Also the terms and condition nearly assure that no one will be able to meet the requirements. And Presto- your power tool is useless because you couldn’t get through the Rigid Customer Service Maze.

Battery issues
So every tool, with the exception of the reciprocating saw, works great. The batteries do not fit the saw. I tried both and neither one fit. Found this out just as I needed the saw too. My suggestion is as soon as you get it, open it up in the car/truck and make sure the batteries fit all the tools.

LIGHTWEIGHT; POWERFUL; LONG RUN-TIME
LIGHTWEIGHT; POWERFUL; LONG RUN-TIME — The RIDGID 18V Lithium-Ion MAX Output 4.0 Ah Battery (2-Pack) are a significant upgrade from my previous Ridgid battery. They are two times more powerful with three times the run time compared to the previous battery. I was impressed with how lightweight they are for batteries with this much power. When using one of these batteries with my Ridgid angle grinder, the increased power was apparent immediately. With the long runtime, there was not a problem completing the task. If there had been, having two charged batteries would have provided me with an incredible run time. The batteries took about 90 minutes to charge so when one battery runs out, the second battery could be used while the first one is being recharged. I am looking forward to the power and the long run time when using my new Ridgid framing nailer. The batteries are made in China.

RIDGID 18V Lithium-Ion MAX Output 4.0 Ah Battery (2-Pack) – I recently got some Ridgid cordless tools and wanted some extra batteries. Of course, I had to buy Ridgid batteries for these tools, but that should be expected. From my experience the performance of Ridgid batteries is comparable to other tool brands. Their cases look and feel well made, they charge pretty quickly with a fast charger and they last about what I expect a 4.0 Ah battery to last in a drill or impact driver regardless of the brand. Ridgid batteries, like other brands include fuel gauges that indicate the power level.
The big selling point for Ridgid tools and batteries, after performance, is the Ridgid Lifetime Service Agreement.

This 2 pack set of 4.0 ah lithium ion Max output batteries are much more advanced than the older line on batteries! Couldn't believe the difference until I tried them. They are compatable with all other 18 volt Ridgid tools and chargers. When I do jobs, either
around the house or away, I need batteries that will last! That's why 2 of these are perfect!
Highly recommend for DIY or professionals.

This batteries are an exact replacement for the batteries that came with my Rigid 18V tools. Whilst cosmetically they are slightly different (please see my video for a description of these differences) they are functionally identical, This is a value pack, and comes with two batteries in a blister pack Four LED indicators read out the charge level when pressed, and display the charging status when they are in the charger.
I had some 1/4 inch concrete anchors to place in concrete and these extra batteries meant I could complete the whole job without needed to recharge a battery mid job.
This Rigid tool set puts the other sets I have bought over the years to shame. The quality and the feel of these tools is excellent; noticeably better than similar and even more expensive products on the market. The 4Ah and 2Ah batteries are a great idea and the tools feel balanced with both. Love the multi-tool; most sets don’t have this so a good bonus.

I got these batteries to power my ½” 18v impact wrench. I have several pieces of equipment that require lots of power and torque to remove rusted nuts and bolts. These 4.0 Ah batteries have more power and last much longer than the 2.0 Ah batteries that came with my impact driver. I was changing two sets of 4 wheels / tires out on my trailer, it was very handy having two batteries to swap out, so didn’t have to stop for charging. They can be used with any other 18v tools for this brand, so I am looking to add more tools because of these batteries. Exceptional batteries
These batteries are amazing. They fit all the various Ridgid power tools 18-volt types. Some that I previous purchased I have had between 5-10 years and still they charge and work great. These new Ridgid 18V Lithium-Ion Max 4-0 Ah batteries are just additional power for my growing Ridgid power tool collection. What is great addition that I am able to recharge these batteries easily from my solar power farm. My sheds are completely assembled by these rechargeable batteries. I am also using them for many projects and they last and last. Very fast recharging as well. I am very satisfied and looking forward to many more years of service from them. You can also register your purchase of this 2-pack and receive a Lifetime Service Agreement. That is how confident this company is about their batteries. Thank you, Ridgid, and Home Depot, for providing your customers the very best in quality. I love and recommend this 2-pack battery pack. I am sure you will love them too!

I regularly use battery power tools by three well known quality tool companies. They all outperform cheap or non-pro quality tools, the kind I had near my workbench and were useless since their batteries wore out in the second year and replacements cost more than the tool.
I only buy quality tools now, and if you're thinking about buying these you have decided that Ridgid has given itself an advantage over all the rest by promising free replacement of tool or battery forever. They charge quickly and quietly, are relatively small in size, offer a charge test light, and give the kind of rugged performance you need. The 4 AH is only a bit larger than the 2 AH and saves a lot of time and effort.
